Federal Way, WashingtonI checked my e-mail because I am currently looking to work for another company and I had seen the subject box stating 'Your Resume', this was not in my junk/bulk mail inbox. I called Chris Gee and he gave me another number and to listen to a recording and before I did this, I asked him how he got my e-mail or resume and he was not clear in answering my question, and that raised an alert alarm in my brain and gut.
So, I researched and found that they are not part of the BBB, but their website stated that they are. Shame on them for being untruthful. I am sooo happy to come across this site and that I read some of the people who were in the business or was a consumer or was about to work for the business or buy their services from Ameriplan USA.
Do not believe everything on the INTERNET because anyone can post or make a webpage. Credible sources would end in .org,.gov or .edu. on a website. com is not a reliable source of information most of the time. Thank you for helping me avoid a mistake that I would have regreted for the rest of my life.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about “consumer confidence" when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

AmeriPlan is a solid, reputable company
It is unfortunate that you did not research AmeriPlan further. AmeriPlan did belong to the BBB, but they no longer belong. When they terminated their membership, they had to scramble to delete the BBB logo from all their websites, and it did appear on their sites for a few days after they terminated.
After 14 years as BBB members in good standing, a very few representatives of the company advertised inappropriately. We are all Independent Business Owners (IBO's), not employees of AmeriPlan. Unfortunately the inappropriate ads placed by a very few (of our 60,000+ representatives) created a great deal of problems for the company. They actually lied in their ads, leading to a BBB investigation.
When those that filed the complaints against AmeriPlan to the BBB refused to agree to a resolution of the problem, AmeriPlan terminated their BBB membership, not wishing to be affiliated with an organization that refused to see the facts as they were... A few Independent Business Owners misrepresenting AmeriPlan, not AmeriPlan itself placing misleading ads.
Chris Gee is among our top IBO's, and he is a very honest individual. You may consider researching AmeriPlan further, and you would learn that we are members in good standing with the US Chamber of commerce , Consumer Health Alliance, National Assoc. of Dental Plans, National Assoc. of Health Underwriters and Direct Selling Association. Our company provides an incredible opportunity for real people to make a phenomenal income.
BBB Investigation about Ameriplan
This is in response to your email stating that Ameriplan chose not to extend its membership with the BBB and also that it is part of other refutable organizations such as C.H.A. (Consumer Health Alliance).
First I would like to inform you that Ameriplan was kicked out of the BBB and did NOT allow their membership to expire as you have suggested. Please refer to Montana's governmental website and you can read about the case in which Ameriplan was forbidden to do business in the state of Montana and kicked out of the BBB for illegal business practices. The illegal practices were of course the act of Ameriplan and IBO's representing that they had a healthy network of dentists and physicians to treat Ameriplan members when in fact there were no providers that were in network with Ameriplan. Montana sued on the pretense of Ameriplan selling a service to its individuals while not providing a service to them because there were no doctors in the state that accepted Ameriplan. In the the IBO's and Ameriplan made money off of the unsuspecting people who had nothing to show for their money.
Secondly, I would like to address the statement that C.H.A. (Consumer Health Alliance) is a refutable organization. It is and organization that is supposed to regulate and inforce rules and regulations on members of the organization that are involed in consumer driven healthcare. In my opinion it is a front. CHA was actually formed and founded by Ameriplan and another discount dental organization similar to Ameriplan called Careington International which is located just down the street from Ameriplan. A young lady named Danny Spangler is the Executive Director and is a relative or close friend of the Blooms. Also, Ameriplan and Careington are permanant board members of the Association so they pretty much make the rules of how they want this organization and their companies to be run. If an organization wants to join then all they have to do is donate an annual sum of money and adhere to their guidelines and then they can be a voting member on the board. It is not very democratic.
I just wanted to educate you guys that are on the outside looking in. I worked in the corporate office at Ameriplan and know all about the shady and dishonest things that are going on there. Greed has gotten hold of the organization and I predict that it won't be long until the government, the marketplace, or something else steps in and makes a correction.
YOur Comment on Ameriplan & Chris Gee
Chris Gee has more honor in his little toe than you may ever know.
Re-think your assumption of Ameriplan & chris.
I am not in Chris' organization, but I do know him. He is a good man of God.
He deserves your apology regardless if you join him or not.
Chris is a Great humble Christian man with a great family.
Be careful who you 'dis online.
A humble servant.
